Judas is probably fucking some boys in catholic heaven.
>>
>>453727
Not according to many Christians. After all, without Judas there could have been no salvation of man. He was integral to God's plan. The more interesting question is whether or not Judas had free will.
>>
>>453786
None of us have free will. And this isn't because of God, it's because we have too many factors in life that make the notion of being completley free of doing whatever one so desires, completley ridiculous.
I didn't even choose to be born.

>not realizing Christianity is a product of Greek culture
From NT until early Middle Ages Greek was the language of Christianity, Greek philosophy was used as the basis for Christian Theology and Greek art as the basis for traditional Christian Art.

Because protestant prussian aristos usually wanted to distance themselves from that smelly bavarian corporal
so the Adherents of Cathol within Germany, a lot from Bavaria and the like, kind of filled the gap

the indulgences were a minor issue compared to what he saw as the greater problem of people believing saying prayers and stuff like that would get one into heaven.
Why is he pegged as a Prussian apologist? I don't understand why "thesis antithesis lmoa" necessarily leads to "Prussia was totally justified"

I've seen many people post something along the lines of "studies show that atheists are less happy than theists" and stuff like that.
Great. That very may well be true. But shouldn't we pause for a moment and think about WHY that might be true?
From my own experience, I've never been depressed directly because of my belief. I've never had some existential crisis over whether or not I'm right, or whether or not there's a god. I don't feel "purposeless" without religion. I have a great life, I feel fulfilled with my personal and professional relationships, and am generally pretty happy.
But I do get depressed sometimes. I'm depressed because if I ever wanted to run for President of the United States, I'd have to lie about my atheism to get the public to accept me. I'm depressed that certain people would think less of me or stop talking to me because of my beliefs. I'm depressed that I don't have a good relationship with my parents because of religious differences.
Basically, I'm not depressed because of atheism. I'm depressed because of the societal status of being an atheist.
Gay teenagers are more likely to commit suicide than straight teenagers. Is it because gay people are less happy? Yes. They're less happy because our hetero-centric society treats them like shit.

In my opinion, it's a complete non sequitur. Even if it's true that atheists are less happy than theists, it has absolutely no bearing on the truth value of atheism (which is why I hold the position).
>>
Christians believe there is a purpose to life. They admire creation, they are joyous and happy.
Atheists believe we are nothing but animals. They believe there is no purpose.
So yeah, atheists are edgy suicidal teenagers.
>>
>>450471
We objectively are animals, learn to biology.
And we make our own purpose, which is much more meaningful than getting purpose from ancient fairy tales of genocidal mangods

Was the kaisereich the greatest army of the 20th century?
The men of the infantry sang "Fatherland, My Fatherland." Between each line of song they took three steps. At times two thousand men were singing together in absolute rhythm and beat. When the, melody gave way the silence was broken only by the stamp of ironshod boots, and then again the song rose. When the singing ceased the bands played marches. They were followed by the rumbles of siege guns, the creaking of wheels and of chains clanking against the cobble-stones and the sharp bell-like voices of the bugles.
For seven hours the army passed in such solid column that not once might a taxicab or trolley car pass through the city. Like a river of steel it flowed, gray and ghostlike. Then, as dusk came and a thousands of horses' hoofs and thousands of iron boots continued to tramp forward, they struck tiny sparks from the stones, but the horses and men who beat out the sparks were invisible.

Because everybody is a special snowflake and democracy gives the illusion that their voices matter.
